Siana didn’t let them wait too much.
She waved her hand a thick piece of paper appeared in front of her.
“What’s this, a paper?”
“Did she make a mistake with the real second item, or is there something great about this paper?”
“Maybe it’s a unique talisman?”
“Yeah, that’s right. It could be an ancient talisman.”
The people in the crowd had weird expressions when they saw a seemingly ordinary paper floating in front of Siana and started their guesswork.
In room number 2, when the ladies heard the crowd’s discussion, they almost couldn’t hold their laughter.
Max also smiled wryly and thought, ‘Maybe I should prepare a few blank spell scrolls for future use.’
On the auction stage, Siana’s expression was also a bit unnatural.
When she was given this piece of paper and was told that it was one of the auction’s finale items, she couldn’t believe it since it was just an ordinary paper. Only after she saw the spell written on it did she realize why it was a finale item.
She sighed and said, “This is the second last finale item. I’m sure you guys must want to know what is extraordinary about such an ordinary piece of paper. Let me introduce this item to you.”
After a pause, she continued, “This paper is extraordinary because on it is written an extraordinary non-elementals spell.”
When the crowd heard this, most of them were disappointed because they preferred an elemental instead of a non-elemental one for obvious reasons. However, before they could express their disappointment, Siana continued,
“The reason it is considered extraordinary even though it is only a non-elemental spell is that this is one of the rare few non-elemental spells that are comparable to an elemental spell. This spell is called [Destruction Wheel], and it is comparable to a top-tier grade three elemental spell. When it’s cultivated to perfection, its power should be comparable to some weaker low-tier grade four elemental spells.”
When the crowd heard this, they were given a shock and couldn’t react for a while. The same was true for the guests on the second and the third floor too.
After everyone came to their senses, a commotion broke out in the auction hall.
“Is it real? A non-elemental spell comparable to an elemental one.”
“Aren’t these types of spells long lost?”
“Yeah, it’s unbelievable.”
“Hey, should we pool our Mana stones and try bidding for it? It would change our life if we could have this spell.”
“Sigh! It’s no use. Those guys on the second and the third floor would easily outbid us.”
“…”
Meanwhile, the people in the auction hall were heatedly discussing among themselves, and the people on the second and third floors had started informing their respective forces about it.
In-room number 23, Jack and Janice were the same. As soon as they recovered from their shock, they immediately took out their communication crystal and contacted their families.
Everyone got the same reply, “Buy it no matter what. Even if you have to give up on the spirit fruits, it doesn’t matter.”
After Janice put away her communication crystal, she glanced at Jack and put on a charming smile and said, “Sir Jack, I wonder if you could help me acquire this spell. I’ll…”
Unlike before, Jack immediately cut her off and said, “Sorry, miss Janice. I can’t help you this time. My family wants this spell.”
Janice’s expression turned cold and but she didn’t say anything else.
Jack noticed this and panicked a little. He smiled stiffly and said, “Miss Janice, I hope you understand. If it weren’t for my family’s orders, I would have helped you with this.”
“It’s all right, sir Jack. I understand.” Janice nodded. Inwardly, she was fuming in anger.
…
In-room number 2, Leticia wore an anxious expression and asked, “Belen, why aren’t they bidding for it? Don’t tell me they don’t want it because it’s a non-elemental spell, right?”
Belen shook her head and smiled, “Don’t worry. They must be informing the forces they belong to about it.”
After her worries about being inferior to Rima and Leticia allayed, she had become a lot more lively which was a relief for Max.
“I hope so.” Leticia nibbled on her nails, still anxious.
On the stage, Siana was silent for a while and waited for everyone to digest the information.
She then announced, “Now that you know everything about the spell, you may begin bidding now. The initial bid is 200,000 low grade Mana stones and each raise must be at least 10,000 Mana stones.”
The crowd went silent and since they knew wouldn’t be able to bid for it, they instead focused their attention on the higher floors.
“500,000!” As soon as Siana’s voice fell, a female voice sounded from the last room on the third floor, room number 5.
When Leticia heard this, she was relieved and then became excited. “It’s only the first bid, and the price has increased by two and half times.”
Max, Belen and Rima were also excited, and their excitement continued to rise when they heard the subsequent bids.
“600,000!” Someone from the second floor raised it by 100,000, and it didn’t take long before someone raised it to 700,000.
In room 23, Jack glanced at Janice and said, “Aren’t you going to bid, Miss Janice?”
Janice shook her head and emotionlessly said, “I plan the competition to thin out first.”
“Oh! If that’s the case, let me help you.” Jack smiled and injected Mana into his armrest before he shouted, “One million!”
Boom!
His voice was like a clap of thunder to ordinary people in the auction hall.
“Good lord! Only a few seconds have passed the price has reached the million mark.”
“One million! Even if I sell everything I have, I won’t gain even half a million. How wealthy they are!”
“That’s why I said the auction’s finale items are reserved for the guest on the second and third floors.”
Just as someone said this, an indifferent voice sounded out from behind him.
“1.5 Million!”
